Default quick & easy DIY terry cloth pouch

I just made this 'getto fabulous' pouch in the past 30mn, and thought some other broke arse around may be interested in replicating and/or creatively improving on the idea:

I used an old microfiber terry cloth for cars that I folded in half and sewn 2 adjacent sides to make a quick & easy (non-scratching) pouch.

I have the tablet and dock and fits in snugly. Tablet by itself is relatively loose, but then again, i intended for tablet + dock.

This is neither fancy nor high-tech. Just a quick "what do I have to make a pouch to put into my bag and not scratch the outside" thought...

Pics below for the curious.

Figured I'd share

Cheers!

Makes for an excellent theft deterrent.

That thing is serious. Haha ima broke ass too but I only spent 10 dollars on a poetic leather case from amazon. Its pretty cheaply made but the case still looks very sharp and does the job. I lost the screen cleaning cloth that the tablet came with. Need to find a good replacement. Maybe one of those micro fibers will do the trick.

It IS hideous! I totally agree. But has served me well so far! I guess that If I had a sewing machine and flipped it inside out, it would make it a whole lot "nicer looking" and "stream lined" But in the end, this is function > form, and it serves well as a "theft deterrent" & "on-the-go cleaner" like ya'll said.

LOL I appreciate the comments, like I said, just a random idea i thought I would post hahahahaha

You can't beat a carry kit that doubles as a cleaning cloth and camouflage against theft, as long as a cop doesn't mistake you for someone doing numbers or drugs in a sack lol
